Abstract:
The paradigm the new European Higher Education Area places us together with the teaching/learning guidelines and models. This fact demands the teacher to adapt his/her function considering new methods which locate the students in the centre of this process. In this context the definition of academic curriculum for the future engineers in the field of Manufacturing Engineering at the Bilbao Engineering Faculty (UPV/EHU) is presented. It must be taken into account that metalworking industry is of primary importance in our region, and the University must face the challenge of training engineers at different levels, from those that go into industry with the 3 years-degree up to those who choose research as a career and carry out their Ph.D. Thesis. In the intermediate, the training of specialists for the Machine-Tools industry, and the activities of long-life learning are also present in our Faculty.
